The Sensible Days must go on! This time the world championship of SWOS will take place in Fulda, Germany. This will be the 16th edition held in the series of the World Cup, and for a second time in Fulda, after 10 years time. A remarkable story in itself, of what started out with just a few players meeting in Pirmasens, is now an ongoing international tradition for many years. We see players travel great distances to play their beloved game and meet with their fellow SWOS friends. During the weekend of 27/28 of July 2019, we will find out who will be crowned as World Champion of SWOS in both PC and Amiga. Along with the 2 main tournaments, a couple of small side-events and cups will also happen.

The tournaments are open to anyone, but a pre-payment is mandatory to join the event! This is done to ensure better organizing possibilities, arranging of groups & seedings, amount of equipment needed, getting the right amount of food & drinks etc.

If you have any questions regarding the event, feel free to contact the organizers. Contact info is listed below.

The general pricing for joining Days 2019 is higher compared to previous editions due to rent price, general costs, hardware, better food and drinks. However all extra income will be donated to the sensiblesoccer.de organization. Everyone is also welcome to donate money to ensure future editions of the World Cup.

This event will take place at the same location as the World Cup in 2009. It is a very suitable place for the event, placed just outside of Fulda. It is very easy to come by car or train, and if the Frankfurt airport is just an hour away (by train). The location has proven perfect in 2009 which saw one of the greatest World Cup's ever held. For organizers it is also perfect, as catering is completely taken care of by the Youth Hostel.
